Solution Overview

Problem

In large-scale offline interaction scenarios, manual face comparison for identity verification is time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to low efficiency and accuracy.

Innovation Solution

An identity information presentation method using augmented reality, where a terminal acquires an image of a character and determines their geographical location, allowing for the retrieval and display of identity information in an augmented reality manner based on this location.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual face comparison is used for identity verification, then the method is simple to implement, but the efficiency and accuracy deteriorate significantly in large-scale scenarios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual face comparison (mechanical/human-based system) with automated image processing and augmented reality technology (automated system). The terminal automatically captures images, identifies characters, determines geographical locations, and retrieves identity information without manual intervention, thereby significantly improving verification efficiency while maintaining acceptable system complexity through integrated software solutions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service identity verification where the terminal automatically performs image capture, character identification, location determination, and information retrieval without requiring manual face comparison by participants. The augmented reality interface automatically presents identity information to users, allowing the system to serve itself and eliminate the need for manual verification processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If manual face comparison is used, then the implementation is straightforward, but the accuracy deteriorates due to time-consuming manual processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification accuracyVSAvoidverification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces time-consuming manual face comparison with automated image processing algorithms and augmented reality technology. The system automatically captures images, identifies characters, determines geographical locations, and retrieves identity information instantaneously, eliminating manual verification time while improving accuracy through automated recognition algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing a database of character identities and their geographical locations. When verification is needed, the system quickly queries this pre-organized data based on the captured image and location, enabling rapid and accurate identity verification without time-consuming manual comparison processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If automated augmented reality-based verification is implemented, then efficiency and accuracy improve significantly, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification efficiencyVSAvoidterminal system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies multi-functionality by integrating multiple capabilities into a single terminal system: image capture, character identification, geographical location determination, identity information retrieval, and augmented reality display. This unified approach improves verification efficiency while managing complexity by combining functions that would otherwise require separate systems into one integrated terminal platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
